Topic: If you could go anywhere in the world-and why? (Read 8907 times)

I have never been outside the United States. I would LOVE to go to Greece! I would love to see the ruins of an ancient civilization! My second choice would be Italy, because of the American Express card ad about a member wanting authentic Italian food and ending up in Italy. I would like some authentic Italian food also! We have Carabas here, but it would be nice to have the "real" thing! I bet the Italian men are HOT too! (and the women . Anyway, I was just wondering........

I would love to go back to Moscow, i lived there a year and it was crazy!!

Plus russian people are so hot!!!! (and i like snow too)

Other places i want to visit.... Israel (to visit all christian places i have heard about), Japan (to practice my japanese and learn more about their culture), France (just to practice my French and see the Eiffel Tower), Canada (i had already been there, and it is a very nice place, would love to visit again). Ahh i also want to visit NYC, i have heard so many things about Big Apple... to visit it is a must!!

Betty, I just went to Greece and Turkey last year... it was great. Make sure you do a bit of Turkey too as the Roman ruins in Ephesus are a must see and easy to fit in when going to places like Rhodes. (click on my profile here and you can access my travel pictures)

Otherwise I'd really like to go to either India or Cambodia, the latter to see Angkor Wat. Oh, and I've always wanted to go to Brazil for the saunas and the hefty logs.

Hungtington, Indiana is pretty cool, they have a WalMart there with people smiling.

Milker.

i know you were being sarcastic....but i rather choke on my own vomit than visit that place....from what ive heard its awful and i know there are awful people there (im sure no everyone but im sure there are some )

1 more year until i graduate...when i graduate im going to have my mom donate some frequent flyer miles to me so i can backback through europe or south america for a month :-) just because i want to see as much as i can with 5 pairs of clothes :-)

Antarctica = the last great frontier. 300-500 metre high ice shelves, lots of great wildlife, the roaring 40's huge swells, a sense of adventure. gotta get there before the crowds. and, its the only continent i've never visited.

LOL all sound interesting but ill pass on antartica....im sure its pretty but im used to no colder than 60 degree weather so ill pass BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

LOL...i actually had the chace to go to alaska which i wouldnt pass up on again because its VERY pretty but so fucking COLD....but i think im going to move from this tropical island hell-hole to somewhere in the northern US so i better get used to the cold

Babe, I remember how you carried on when it dropped to 7 degrees C in Sydney a couple of years ago. How do you reckon you'd go in -60?

i know what you mean about the cold. i've never seen a frost, let alone snow, but ya rug up when you go that far south. I'd be whinging and bitching about it the whole time, don't you worry. You should see me carry on when it gets as low as 60 here

crap 7 degrees C is what in F.... (5/9)(Farenheit-32) or something like that.....im tooo tired to try and figure it out....

Damn english system...there are only 2 countries who use it...and although i learned the metric system taking chemistry and stuff i never know how to "compare"....tell me how many KG you weigh and i dont know in LBS even though i think 2.2 if the conversion

Dominican Republic, Cuba, Rio de Janiero, London, Paris, Madrid, Istanbul, Costa Rica--all are on my short list.I'll make ito one of them in December with my frequent flier miles--just have to decide...

Betty I too would love to go to Greece (the Greek Islands too) and Italy. And yes I understand the Italian men are HOTunfortunately for us...they don't care much for Americans. I'd love to see France, Ireland and England and Venice too. HellI'd love to have a world tour....Imagine touching the Wailing Wall in Jerusaleum...Riding a bike atop the Great Wall of Chinaandso many many other places.......... .

I wanna go back to Puerto Rico....I loved it there and liked tapping into my heritage....Jamaica/Virign Islands..Just because I would like to smoke some of their green and to be able to see the pretty clear water..You noticed I said see, not trying to swim with the sharks or stingrays...And finally Japan/China because I have always loved their culture....Would love to wear a kimono...

BettyTacy.. Aren't you quitting cigarettes? If you smoke 2 packs a day and save that money instead of buying ciggies. In about 6 months you can afford to go to any where your heart desires...except maybe Antarctica...that could be problematic. When I quit smoking and drinking I realized I was spending more than my mortgage every month on smokes and booze!

This brings up a question for the Americans... how many of you don't have a passport and why the heck not? There's a whole world out there!I have friends that take the same trips every year to Vegas, Florida, or The Bahama's, they make comments like, "I wish I could travel like you do" The thing is...they spend more money on their same trip to the same place year in and year out, than we do going somewhere new. When I ask, they don't have a passport.

Well, today I don't want to jump off the edge, cause I'm feeling a little better than yesterday. So I am in a better frame of mind to really think about this so here goes...

1. Austin, Texas- A very sweet friend lives there & I would absolutely love to come visit him. ( I hope he reads this)2. New South Wales Australia I want to meet MtD IN PERSON!3 New Zealand I want to see Jan's farm and all those animals.4. Winston Salem N.C. I want to visit Lisa5. Puerto Rico, I have always wanted to go there. I don't know why. It has always seemed like a place that I would enjoy.6. The boothill of Missouri, yeah it isn't that farfrom here but Blixer lives there & I want to meet him.

Lots of folks wanting to go to Australia and New Zealand. Huummm. An idea setting in my brain. A group trip to see the Great Dragon, Annie & her now famous husband & goats & alpacas, and the land down under. What would that run? About 3 or 4 grand?,Mike

P.S. In two years from today you could save $2960 for a dream destination if you just put $4.00 aside everyday. (The cost of a pack of cigarettes.)

I want to go to Portugal to a place called the end of the world - I think it is the southern most point in Europe. A dear friend passed earlier this year and that is where he wanted some of his ashes spread - and I want to visit it and see why he thought it was so special and to remember a special friend whom I miss.
